Iranian-Backed ‘Sleeper Cell' Militants Hibernating in U.S., Positioned for Attack
2018-04-18
[Free Beacon] ranian-backed militants are operating across the United States mostly unfettered, raising concerns in Congress and among regional experts that these "sleeper cell" agents are poised to launch a large-scale attack on the American homeland, according to testimony before lawmakers.

Iranian agents tied to the terror group Hezbollah have already been discovered in the United States plotting attacks, giving rise to fears that Tehran could order a strike inside America should tensions between the Trump administration and Islamic Republic reach a boiling point.

Intelligence officials and former White House officials confirmed to Congress on Tuesday that such an attack is not only plausible, but relatively easy for Iran to carry out at a time when the Trump administration is considering abandoning the landmark nuclear deal and reapplying sanctions on Tehran.

#3  Oh, I remember the first student wave of displaced Persians during the Shah's crackdown in the early '70s before the collapse of his reign. The State department paid their tuition, housing and gave them a stipend for incidentals. They started out in the general pop, but to get them to graduate the University created a cultural acclimation program.

#1  Start revoking visas and deport them, and / or start beating the crap out of captured Iranian bigwigs until we get names.

I wonder if / how badly Obama's State Dept. gave preferential treatment & visas to Iranian 'refugees' - there's where you start.
